Smut means the more socially accepted version of porn, otherwise you choose mature or adult if you feature sexuality. That is why it has such a low reputation for me. It is the genre of edgy teenagers who don't know better.

If your focus is on her being a succubus and how to deal with those difficulties, I would rather categorise it as adult and mature.

If your focus is just on her having sex with as many people as possible, you should use smut.

edge teen? here may be. Else where its a different story (lol, pun )

Perhaps mature or adult would be better then? Hrm. I don't intend it to be "as many people as possible" more just, "when it's convenient or she feels like it" but.. she's not like to just go around doing it with anything that moves, and, technically, she doesn't "need" to do it to suck out their essence, a kiss will suffice, it just makes it "better" in some way I've not quantified yet.

To be honest, there's really some underlying things that make her whole existence as a Shapeshifting Vampiric Succubus mean something completely different than first apperances. I might have already given it away a bit too early with hinting/foreshadowing due to being too impatient in my writing >.> I wanted to hang onto it a bit longer. Ah well.

Think about it. Maybe your story is less smutty than you think.

Which tag would fit better.. I wonder? Adult or Mature? Or maybe there's another I'm forgetting?

just getting flashbacks to when I worked as a librarian... you could not imagine the furore , people had for Laurell K. Hamilton, saying it shouldn't be in a library, all the while clutching some medical mills and boons. Irony.
vampires,no. but doctors...

Doctors are sexy.

Personally, I would say mature. I doubt you targetted audience are adults, but rather growing up people. It indicates that the book treats topics destined for a pubescent audience.

I also think the no underage sex 18 rule is ridiculous. Those crazy Americans again. People can own guns with 18, but not drink alcohol.

The age of consent is 14 - 16 in Europe, not 18.

Sorry to wedge in -- but my main issue with Assu is that you are too laconic.

That invites a lot of misunderstanding and misinterpretation of what you mean and want. Most of the time, people jump to worst conclusions because laconic people also seem intimidating. Because they already seem judgmental from the get-go, otherwise they would have elaborated.

Fair point, but why should I elaborate what I know will be ignored anyway?

Sorry TT___TT.

I also am going to write smut in my story (because my genre usually implies some of it, especially when the story is such a slowburn. As a gift to the readers for reading for so long). But I would never put the genre "smut" in my books, tbh.

@Freesia.Cutepearl -- depends on what you want! Adult = more edgy, Mature = more dark and in-depth... (from what I heard on the forum).

@Assurbanipal_II

But you didn't end up ignored... that is the issue .

I got my first rifle at 12 I believe. Hunting license at 14. Age of consent laws are odd. Most of those laws you’re talking about are probably negated by specific age gaps and local restrictions. The alcohol law has more to do with brain development I believe.

And no sex under 18 only applies to one being over 18 and the other being below. Even then it’s gray.

full disclosure, none of my personalities knew how to talk to assurbanipal the first few months of knowing him... I think when assu started using emojis made things clearer

The laws are not negated. The punishments are negated. Very big difference.

Devils.Advocate How come so? Am I so intimidating? I won't eat you. I only drink your blood. Sometimes.

@UYScuti Is that really so? I thought it implied NO-below 18 age stuff regardless if even both parties are the same age.
